early for fuck finding information for 50 year old autolite carbs and their jets
daily reminder that honda a shit
So, did some low speed 8s and dribbling...
>should i keep some pressure on the rear?

Gripping the tank seems to be really important
Also looking where you want to be instead of the ground

>>Watching James May reassemble things on Youtube
just watched that series. it was brilliant. also watched james may going to near space in lockheed U2.
I mean cost is a big factor, and I do want something that is quite quick. what was your fuel econ with the FJ?
>>15139777
>those digits
>>15139782
40-45 mpg typically. Dropped a little with the filter pods.
You should check out the AvE youtube channel.
Also the camera girl is qt as fuq on the James May vids

also how much jet sizing should I reduce by coming to denver?

god damn. theres probably a way I can lock it almost shut right?
my buddy crashed and got a call from his insurance saying to get a quote for the damage and they'll cut him a check. then he gets another call from his insurance and they say he's not covered. he thinks the first dude is not even associated with his insurance company. is he being scammed or something? lol, i dont even see how this dude would get any money from my friend
>>15139961
Use electrical tape on the visors rim.
>>15139972
Probably just a wrong number
>>15139972
That happened to Moffman, then he got raped by the fake insurance person when he went to pic up the check.
>>15139986
the coincidence of someone from "allstate" calling to respond about a motorcycle crash a day after it happens seems unlikely.
>>15139987
lol what?
>>15139972
I know that Progressive has their own adjusters that come out and survey the damage and tell you how much they can pay you.
>>15139992
>lol what?
Moffman, the cb650 Street Triple namefag.
>>15139972
You give someone non-existent money and have them forward money somewhere else so it comes out of their account when the cheque turns out to be fake.
Eg. fake service fees, overpayment refunds, etc.
T-18:00 TILL NUDA, GET HYPE
>>15140010
ah i get it. i dont see how people fall for this shit though. why anyone would expect to go through this bullshit when your insurance is the one who owes you is crazy. just very strange how this dude heard about it and called my buddy. he made a claim the moment the accident happened, and that was it.
>>15140017
bullshit
>>15140017
H-hype?
>>15139752
>>15139865

>>15139959
Marc didn't do shit.
>he overtook him too many times though!
a bloo bloo bloo bloo.
Seriously that's all you guys can come up with, he overtook rossi too much.
Go ahead, find anything else marc did wrong.
I can only think of one guy who tried to run someone off the track and spent a whole press conference trying to slander the name of another rider with such bizarre pettiness as claiming they "never had a poster of him on their wall as a child at all" and it wasn't marquez.
>>15140017

Hey dbt I live in Winnipeg and motorcycle insurance is fucking high here. However dirt bikes are "dirt" cheap (I hate myself for that one) how practical/worth it is it to convert one to make it street legal?

MPI has a insurance rate calculator that I use to compare different motorcycles.
Most bikes for sale around here are sport bikes which insurance wise is atleast 300 a month for 5 months.
There was a 2013 Yamaha VStar 250 that I could insure for about 200 a month for 5 months
But dirtbikes are normally 100 bucks to 175 bucks a month

I'm looking to start riding a motorcycle after I get a new job. I assume the same rule of Never buy New applies to bikes as well? It's a bit tempting, though, since they can be so much cheaper. I was looking at a KTM 390 Duke. What's the poorfag equivalent?

so I lowsided my 500cc bike and now im faced with the question do I make it a street fighter or purchase new fairings?
5k miles on it
>>15140554
wait to buy fairings until you need to sell. or just never get around to replacing them
>>15140558
its too ugly to ride around literally half the fairings are gone
so im faced with one of the two options
>>15140563
why not ride with busted fairings. a lowside wouldn't rip the fairings off

I seriously haven't felt like this in ages
Just a quick question for any veteran riders out there. What do you guys in a situation where someone is purposefully blocking lanes and cutting you off?
Being on a 300 it is quite intimidating when theyre driving a 4x4.
From experience, telling them to 'suck me off' or retaliating only results in getting your head smashed in, or sent to jail.
any advice? I think there's a big part of my integrity that needs to cut things like this off before they turn worse
Would a normal tire shop be able to mount and balance my front tire or should I just go back to the bike shop that did my rear?
They charged me 55 last time and u fucked up and only gave them 1 at a time so I have to pay for another hour, 55 seems expensive
>>15140578
I've been riding a long time and when it comes down to it, if someone wants to hurt you and they're in a car, all you can do is avoid it. If you're a MMA fighter or something, go nuts, get off your bike at a traffic light or something and smash them in, but if they drive into you, it's party over, however much of a badass you are. Get round them if possible, if not, drop back.
>>15140573
M8 stop dropping your bike. It seems you've got bigger issues than just how you want your bike look. If you can't stop crashing try to find a cheap used set of plastics.
>>15140582
You could call and ask. Or call other bike shops for a quote
>>15140578
Slow down, or distance between you and them.
Or don't get into that situation in the first place.
>>15140578
any veteran rider knows to disengage an aggressive cager
>>15140587

Quick, what bike is this? I'm in love.
>>15140596
ex500 but i seriously dont know whats more worth it. streetfighter or fairngs
>>15140570
Nothing, riding the touge responsibly involves, checking your mirrors every now and then and letting faster riders pass, don't be a cunt on a cruiser who doesn't check and just sits his fat arse in the middle of the lane going under the speed limit.
>>15140578
Nothing, ride more and you will run out of ability to care.
Just get distance between them, don't bother escalating, nobody "learns a lesson" in a shouting match where the other party can be easily demonized and the more you get caught up on how "that guy is such a cunt" the less of your brain is dedicated to riding the bike.
Swallow the pride, sit behind them for 10-15 seconds (that's all you need usually) when another opportunity to pass will occur and you can just fuck off away from them.

Small blog post, ride 7/8 this morning. Didn't die or listen to wisdom today. Ride in traffic went to a strange complicated crossroad where I panicked and stopped at a crosswalk 9m away from where I was supposed to stop. Then ran a red light because downhill and scurred of front break.
All things I expect to figure out on own bike eventually. All this said, I am more and more inclined towards falling for the 250 first bike meme. This sv650 is doing me a frighten.
>>15140647
nope.
That's this.
What you see on stoner there is straight up power sliding, 200 km/hr full throttle.
>>15140289
They're not bad. Remember that Dbt hates anything less than 500cc regardless of if it's good or not. 250's are great if you have a budget but know that you will get bored of it quick and want something bigger

I'm guessing you've never ridden in "can't go any faster than 40 km/hr because I can't see far enough ahead for that to even be remotely safe and there's 2 inches of water on the road" rain before.
I've had to limp home in that kind of rain a few times.
Doesn't help the city roads here tend to flood meaning there can be 40-50 meter long deep puddles.
Feels like being hit with a fire house when a car sprays that all over you.

Australia actually, once you get close to the tropic of capricorn shit gets real basically.
One time I rode under an overpass, not a particularly long one even, maybe a few seconds.
On one side it wasn't raining, when I left the other side it was bucketing down and I was soaked to my undies in literally a few seconds from the volume of water.

I can't get over the idea that something like a tuono/superduke/s1000r would be just wasted on the streets for someone who won't do tracks like myself.
Is there any middleweight naked with really good stock suspensions/brakes and overall build quality? No brutale, unfortunately I'm too tall to fit.

Yea I thought about someting like street triple.
>japbikes
Do they even make a middleweight with quality components? Even the 600 supersports now are shipped with tokico/nissin mid tier systems and noname suspensions.
Ducati might be a viable option but between a moster and a street triple I'd go for the triple.
So after 3 hours of riding I just checked my oil via the dipstick, and the oil level is way above max. I did an oil change a few months ago and unfortunately haven't checked the oil until now. Is there reason to worry or is it just that high because I rode a lot just now?

I'm pretty sure the clutch fluid leak was in the master cylinder since it had a puddle of spilled fluid stuck around it when I got the bike out today. I'll be ordering a repair kit for that and hoping there's nothing else wrong.

Blame the squidfags who can't ride for shit so they ONLY consider the engine performance when buying a bike. It seems they make up 90% of the bike market.

pls help
>>15141273
Did you wipe the dipstick and then put it in and check the level that way? If you didn't then the pressurized oil would probably cause a higher than normal readout. If not then you fucked up and put in way too much oil, I'd just drain the system and pour in the correct amount of used oil.
>>15141364
DOT4 clutch fluid is the same as DOT4 brake fluid. It won't work in the magura clutch. It needs mineral oil (which can be ATF, fork oil, baby oil, or a bunch of other different things).
>>15141371
yeah, i did wipe the dipstick. i can even see the oil from looking into the reservoir between the forks. i might just have to do what you just said. shit. any chance i damaged something permanently?
>>15141273
>he can't even use a dipstick correctly
What bike?
>>15141357
Never sat on a striple but I sat on a brutale at a show and it was more cramped than a R6.
>>15141396
Sounds like your bike has a dry sump oiling system. Do you ride a DR?
When filling those bikes you don't keep adding oil until it shows on the dipstick. It should actually show quite low until it has been run for a while and warmed up. These bikes pump most of the oil up into the frame/tank while in use, and it drains back down into the engine after it has been sitting for a while. You want to check the level after it has been pumped up into the frame.
>>15141427
Why does it pump into the frame ?
>>15141430
Because that's how a dry sump system works. It keeps an oil tank above the engine which holds the majority of the oil. That way it doesn't have a giant puddle sloshing around in the engine and shit. And it can draw from the oil tank at any angle, so it doesn't suffer oil starvation from hard acceleration or wheelies and shit.
>>15141427
it's a BMW F650. I can clearly remember that i put in the exact amount of oil recommended in the BMW Manual, and it was just how you described it. And yes, I did drain and change the oil filter.
>>15141430
This is so that the bike can have a much smaller external oil tank and not affect ground clearance negatively
>>15141430
Because that's what a dry sump system does.
>>15141421
sounds weird, triumph and mv I sat on felt somehow roomy
>>15141430
http://www.apriliaforum.com/techtips/other/drysump.htm
>>15141447
Did you remember to drain the old oil before putting in the new?
Did you use the proper dipstick procedure? It know it sounds stupid but some people don't know and some bikes need to have it done a specific way.
>>15141470
yes I did, I let it sit for about 2 hours to make sure all of the oil is drained. and if you mean screwing the dipstick all the way in, then yes, i did that

>takes 4 weeks to get them back
>if I use my backup/old gear colors don't fit
fml tbqh fampai
>>15141481
Did you drain the oil out of both the crankcase and the oil tank?
For my bike you're not supposed to screw the dipstick all the way in to check the oil level. You just put the threads up to the end and pull it back out. could be different for yours but if not that would make it read too high.
>>15141447

>>15141486
i did it according to the manual, whcih said to drain it from the lower sump (lowest pint of the bike) and another screw at pic related

Not that.

>>15141218
>would be just wasted on the streets
you know the 140 hp in a brutale 800 or a whatever comes in a street triple 800 (coming soon) or most of the new mid bikes with high level components would be "wasted" too.
You know I "only" have 70 hp and even then the amount of time I'm spending near full throttle on the twisties is absolutely minuscule (and just being honest here, I probably go harder than most on road), the fastest bike I've ever seen on a twisty road here had 45 hp.
This might sound like I'm advocating smaller bikes or something but I'm really not, truth is it takes a god to make "full use" of a 600's power on the road anyway.
So I say, why bother making it justifiable? Why not just get that SD1290/tuono/S1000R with it's incredible components and advanced electronics and ride the creamy waves of torque? hell just change the throttle mode or whatever if you don't want it up in your grill too much.
You won't be maximizing a midrange bike on the road anyway.

it's more an adventure bike version. Bit more weight, parallel engine for less vibrations and higher top speed makes it more suitable for the highway. The engine is just as reliable. A thumper or more dualsport oriented bike like the DR is not happy on the highway.

I knew clutch and brake fluid were the same. I've never heard of that kind of clutch system though.
The more you know.
>>15141623
if it were me, I'd wait for about 10 years or so before I made my bike a cafe. basically just recycling what's already dying.
